The Royal Moroccan Federation of Karate and Associated Discipline announced, Saturday evening, the cancellation of its participation in the North African Karate Championship which will take place from 07 to 11 September in Tunisia.
This decision comes following the diplomatic incident between Tunisia and Morocco.
Indeed, Morocco had summoned its ambassador to Tunisia, Hassan Tarek, after the reception of the chief of the Polisario by President Kaïs Saïed, as part of the Tokyo International Summit for Development in Africa (Ticad 8).
The kingdom considered this reception as a “dangerous and unprecedented act”.
Tunisia’s response was not long in coming. Tunis had summoned his ambassador to Morocco on Saturday for consultations on Saturday, rejecting the content of the press release from Moroccan diplomacy accusing Tunisia of adopting an aggressive position towards Morocco, and of affecting Moroccan interests.
